Technical Field
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of medicine, specifically to a fused tricyclic
compound and a preparation method therefor and a use thereof.
Background
[0003] Axon degeneration is closely related to the occurrence and development of neurological
diseases. Wallerian degeneration is the main pathway of axon degeneration. Wallerian
degeneration, also known as secondary degeneration, refers to a process in which the
distal nerve fibers of axons begin to degrade after the axons are broken due to trauma.
Two key proteins are involved in this process: nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD
+) synthase NMNAT2 and NAD
+ hydrolase SARM1. SARM1 (Sterile alpha and Toll/interleukin-1 receptor motif-containing
1) is the main executive molecule of this neurodegradation process, and the regulation
of its activity plays an important role in the treatment of corresponding neurological
diseases.
[0004] In healthy neurons, NMNAT2 is transported along axons, maintaining high levels of
NAD
+ and low levels of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), and SARM1 is maintained at a
low activity level. When neurons are damaged, the transport of NMNAT2 stops along
axons, and NMNAT2 rapidly decomposes, causing NMN levels to begin to rise and NAD
+ levels to begin to decrease. This period is called the axonal degeneration latency
period. Changes in NMN and NAD
+ lead to the activation of SARM1, which in turn causes Ca
2+ influx, calpain activation, and ATP depletion. With the accumulation of ROS, axonal
degeneration begins to occur. At present, it is reported in many literature that knocking
out or inhibiting SARM1 has a protective effect in various neurological disease models,
such as peripheral neuropathy, traumatic brain injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,
Parkinson's disease, glaucoma, etc.
[0005] The treatment methods for neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's
disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic sclerosis, Huntington's disease, etc., are
very limited, and there is no effective treatment available. At present, most of the
treatment methods are symptomatic treatments to alleviate symptoms, which cannot prevent
the development of the disease, let alone cure it. In addition, the incidence of neurodegenerative
diseases is increasing as the population ages. Therefore, there is an urgent need
to develop more effective drugs to help slow down disease progression, improve patients'
quality of life, or even prevent disease development in early stages.

[0239] As used in the present invention, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers
to a salt of a compound of the present invention that is pharmaceutically acceptable
and has the desired pharmacological activity of the parent compound. Such salts include:
acid addition salts formed with inorganic acids or with organic acids, or coordination
compounds formed by replacing acidic protons present on the parent compound with metal
ions or with organic bases.
[0240] As used in the present invention, the term "stereoisomer" refers to an isomer formed
due to at least one asymmetric center. In compounds with one or more (e.g., 1, 2,
3, or 4) asymmetric centers, it can produce racemic mixtures, single enantiomers,
diastereomeric mixtures, and individual diastereomers. Specific individual molecules
can also exist as geometric isomers (cis/trans). Similarly, the compounds of the present
invention can exist as mixtures (commonly referred to as tautomers) of two or more
structurally different forms in rapid equilibrium. Representative examples of tautomers
include keto-enol tautomers, phenol-ketone tautomers, nitroso-oxime tautomers, imine-enamine
tautomers, etc. It is to be understood that the scope of the present application covers
all such isomers or mixtures thereof in any proportion (e.g., 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%,
80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%).
[0241] Unless otherwise indicated, the compounds of the present invention are intended to
exist in the form of stereoisomers, including cis and trans isomers, optical isomers
(e.g., R and S enantiomers), diastereomers, geometric isomers, rotamers, conformational
isomers, atropisomers, and mixtures thereof. The compounds of the present invention
may exhibit more than one type of isomerism and consist of mixtures thereof (e.g.,
racemic mixtures and diastereomeric pairs.)
[0242] As used in the present invention, the term "isotope-labeled compound" refers to a
compound in which one or more atoms have been replaced with atoms of the same atomic
number, but of a different atomic mass or mass number than the dominant atomic mass
or mass number in nature. Examples of isotopes suitable for inclusion in the compounds
of the present invention include, but are not limited to, hydrogen isotopes such as
2H,

[0243] As used in the present invention, the term "prodrug" refers to a derivative that
can be hydrolyzed, oxidized or otherwise reacted under biological conditions (
in vitro or
in vivo) to provide a compound disclosed herein. Prodrugs become active compounds only after
the reaction under biological conditions, or they are not or only less active in their
unreacted forms. Prodrugs can usually be prepared using known methods, such as those
methods described in Burger's Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery (1995) 172-178,
949-982 (Manfred E. Wolff, 5th edition). The term "ester" refers to esters that can
be hydrolyzed
in vivo and includes those that are easily decomposed in the human organism so as to separate
from the parent compound. The hydroxyl group-containing compounds of the present invention
can form esters with organic or inorganic acids, or the carboxyl group-containing
compounds of the present invention can form esters with alcohols such as methanol,
ethanol or propanol.
[0244] The compounds of the present invention may exist in the form of solvates (such as
hydrates), wherein the compounds of the present application contain a solvent as a

the compound, which may be a single polymorph or a mixture of more than one polymorph
in any ratio.
[0246] As used herein, the term "N-oxide" refers to a compound containing an amine oxide
moiety (i.e., an oxide of a tertiary amine group) formed by oxidation of at least
one nitrogen atom in the compound. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that not
all nitrogen-containing heterocycles are capable of forming N-oxides, as nitrogen
requires an available lone pair of electrons to oxidize to an oxide; those skilled
in the art will recognize nitrogen-containing heterocycles that are capable of forming
N-oxides. Those skilled in the art will also recognize that tertiary amines are capable
of forming N-oxides. Synthetic methods for preparing N-oxides of nitrogen-containing
heterocycles and tertiary amines are well known to those skilled in the art, for example,
nitrogen atoms (e.g., trivalent nitrogen) can be converted to the corresponding N-oxide
form by known methods such as treatment with an oxidizing agent. In the present invention,
the purpose of the pharmaceutical composition is to promote the administration of
the organism, facilitate the absorption of the active ingredients and thus exert biological
activity. The carriers include, but are not limited to: ion exchangers, alumina, aluminum
stearate, lecithin, serum proteins such as human albumin, buffer substances such as
phosphates, glycerol, sorbic acid, potassium sorbate, partial glyceride mixtures of
saturated vegetable fatty acids, water, salts or electrolytes, such as protamine sulfate,

flavoring agents, aromatics, cosolvents, emulsifiers, solubilizers, osmotic pressure
regulators, colorants, etc. in liquid preparations can all be called excipients.
[0247] In the present invention, the pharmaceutical composition can be prepared into various
suitable dosage forms according to the administration route, such as tablets, capsules,
granules, oral solutions, oral suspensions, oral emulsions, powders, tinctures, syrups,
injections, suppositories, ointments, creams, pastes, ophthalmic preparations, pills,
implants, aerosols, powder sprays, sprays, etc. Wherein, the pharmaceutical composition
or suitable dosage form can contain 0.01 mg to 1000 mg of the compound, or a stereoisomer,
tautomer, polymorph, solvate, hydrate, N-oxide, isotope-labeled compound, metabolite,
ester, prodrug of the compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the present
invention, preferably 0.1 mg to 800 mg, preferably 0.5-500 mg, preferably 0.5 to 350
mg, and particularly preferably 1-250 mg.

domesticated animals (e.g., sheep, dogs, cats, cows, pigs, etc.).
[0249] As used herein, the term "treat", "treating" or "treatment" is intended to alleviate,
mitigate, improve or eliminate the disease state or disorder being targeted. If a
subject receives a therapeutic amount of the compound, or a stereoisomer thereof,
or a tautomer thereof, or a polymorph thereof, or a solvate thereof, or a hydrate
thereof, or an N-oxide thereof, or an isotope-labeled compound thereof, or a metabolite
thereof, or an ester thereof, or a prodrug thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable
salt thereof according to the methods described herein, and the subject shows an observable
and/or detectable reduction or improvement in one or more signs and symptoms, then
the subject is successfully "treated". It should also be understood that the treatment
of the disease state or disorder includes not only complete treatment, but also less
than complete treatment while achieving some biologically or medically relevant result.
[0250] As used in the present invention, the term "prevent", "preventing" or "prevention"
aims to avoid, reduce, prevent or delay the occurrence of a disease or disease-related
symptoms, and such disease or disease-related symptoms have not yet appeared before
the administration of the relevant drug. "Prevention" does not require completely
stopping the occurrence of a disease or disease-related symptoms. For example, after
the administration of relevant drugs, the risk of a subject developing a specific
disease or disease-related symptoms can be reduced, or the severity of related symptoms
that appear later can be reduced, which can be considered as "preventing" the occurrence
or development of the disease.
[0251] As used in the present invention, the term "effective amount" refers to an amount
sufficient to achieve the desired therapeutic or preventive effect, for example, an
amount that reduces the symptoms associated with the disease to be treated, or an
amount that can effectively prevent, stop or delay the occurrence of the disease.
The determination of such an effective amount is within the capabilities of those
skilled in the art.
[0252] It should also be noted that the dosage and method of use of the compounds of the
present invention depend on many factors, including the patient's age, weight, gender,
natural health status, nutritional status, activity strength of the compound, time
of administration, metabolic rate, severity of the disorder, and the subjective judgment
of the treating physician. The preferred dosage is between 0.01-100 mg/kg body weight/day.

2. Preparation of SAM-TIR lysate
[0431] NRK1-HEK293T cells were seeded at approximately 10 × 10
6 cells/plate into 150 mm culture dishes containing 25 mL of growth medium. Next day,
the cells were transfected by first premixing 15 µg of human SARM1 expression plasmid
(SARM1408-724 expression plasmid and vector-control customized by SinoBio) with 45
µL of X-tremeGENE 9 DNA transfection reagent and 750 µL of OptiMEM and then adding
the mixture directly to the cells. At the time of transfection, 250 µL of nicotinamide
riboside (100 mM) was added to each dish to minimize toxicity from SAM-TIR overexpression.
48 hours after the transfection, the cells were washed three to four times with cold
PBS and collected. The cells were resuspended in 0.5 mL of PBS containing protease
inhibitors. Cell lysates were prepared by sonication. The lysate was centrifuged at
12500 rpm for 10 min at 4°C to remove cell debris, and protein concentration was determined
by bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay and used to normalize lysate concentration. The
aliquots of supernatant were stored at -80°C until use.
3. Experimental steps
[0432]
- 1) Transfer the compound dilutions into an assay plate by Echo 650;
- 2) Add 10µl 2× SAM-TIR lysate to each well;
- 3) Seal the assay plate, centrifuge at 1000rpm for 1min, and incubate at 25°C for
30min;
- 4) Add 10µl 2× NAD to each well;
- 5) Centrifuge at 1000rpm for 1min, and incubate at 25°C for 3h;
- 6) Add 40µL trichloroacetic acid to each well to terminate the reaction, mix and shake
for 30s, and centrifuge at 4000rpm for 10min;
- 7) Take 40µL supernatant from each well and add appropriate amount of ammonia water
to adjust the pH;
- 8) Detect nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and adenosine diphosphate ribose
(ADPR) by HPLC-MS/MS.
4. Data analysis
[0433]
- 1) For each screening plate, calculate the average data and standard deviation (SD)
of DMSO (as negative control (VC)) and 100 µM control I-5 (as positive control (PC))
- 2) Inhibition percentage of compound
NAD:
Inhibition rate = {(signal of compound - signal of negative control) / (signal of
positive control - signal of negative control)} × 100%

ADPR:
Inhibition rate = {1-(signal of compound - signal of positive control) / (signal of
negative control - signal of positive control)} × 100%

- 3) Calculate the IC50 using the nonlinear regression equation of XLfit 5.3.1 with the following formula:
Inhibition rate = minimum value + (maximum value - minimum value) / (1 + 10^((LogIC50-Log(compound concentration)) * slope coefficient))

[0434] Control I-5

was prepared according to method C of
WO2022046606A1.
[0435] Conclusion: At least some of the compounds of the present invention have better inhibitory
effect on the SARM1 enzyme, and the activity data of some of the compounds at the
enzymatic level of SARM1 are shown in Table 3.

plate at different time points (0, 5, 15, 30, and 45 min), and pre-incubated at 37
°C for 5 min. At 0 min, 200 µL of ACN containing IS (internal standard, tolbutamid/terfenadine)
was added to the wells, then 15 µL of NADPH stock solution (6 mM) was added. For the
other time points, the reaction was initiated and timed by adding 15 µL of NADPH stock
solution (6 mM) to the wells. The reaction was stopped by adding 200 µL of ACN containing
IS to the corresponding plate wells at 5, 15, 30, and 45 min, respectively. After
quenching, the plate was shaken at 600 rpm for 10 min and then centrifuged at 4000

Experimental Example 7: Neuronal injury model based on mouse primary neurons
[0445] Methods: Neocortices were dissected from the brains of newborn mice at DIV 0 (Day
In Vitro 0), digested with 0.05% (w/v) trypsin/EDTA, and incubated at 37°C for 10
min. Neuronal cells obtained after digestion were seeded in cell culture dishes preincubated
with poly-D-lysine in Neurobasal/B-27 medium (Neurobasal medium supplemented with
1% (v/v) B-27, 2 mM glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin, and 100 mg/ml streptomycin). Starting
from DIV 3, a half of the medium was replaced with fresh Neurobasal/B-27 medium every
two days. At DIV 10, the cultures were subjected to axotomy and compound administration.
The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde the day after axotomy and subjected
to cell immunofluorescence staining for TUJ1. Confocal imaging of axons was performed
using a Zeiss LSM710 laser confocal microscope.
[0446] Conclusion: At least some of the compounds of the present application have stronger
neuron-protective activity that can reduce axonal loss after axonal injury. For example,
as shown in Figure 1, compared with the control I-5, compound 25 shows stronger neuron-protecting
activity at a lower concentration (0.3 µM) which could reduce axonal loss after axonal
injury.
Experimental Example 8: Mouse sciatic nerve axotomy (SNA) model
[0447] Methods: Mice were anesthetized with isoflurane, and the skin of the right hind limb
was shaved and sterilized with iodine. An incision was made between the knee and hip
joints, and the gluteal muscle was carefully separated using a pair of sterile surgical
scissors. The sciatic nerve was cut proximally to the thigh with a pair of sterile
surgical scissors, and a 1-2 mm segment of the nerve was removed to prevent axonal
regeneration into the distal stump. The gluteal muscle was then placed back to its
original anatomical position, and the overlying skin was reattached with surgical
staples or sutures.
[0448] To examine the denervation of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ), the tibialis anterior
muscles were dissected from perfused animals and fixed overnight with 4% paraformaldehyde/PBS
at 4°C. Immunohistochemical staining was subsequently performed with Neurofilament-L
antibody and Synapsin-1 antibody as well as acetylcholine receptor (AchR) markers.
Finally, imaging was performed by laser confocal microscope Zeiss LSM710.
[0449] Conclusion: At least some of the compounds of the present application can significantly
protect axons from injury-induced axonal degeneration. For example, as shown in Figure
2, compound 25 can significantly protect axons from injury-induced axonal degeneration
in mice.
